Re: TNET: Clemson makes finalists for 4-star lineman

The legacy factor is important, but not primary.

With Michigan, Khaki Pants has been exhibiting some signs of a wandering eye. NFL bright lights may be alluring again to him.

With Clemson, Dabo is the ideal fit as a college FB coach. He’s perfect as far as the politics of the University and IPTAY / boosters. He’s perfect as far as the college mission I.e., the development of young men in a wholistic sense. These ‘political’ and philosophical attributes of Dabo are not needed for a NFL coach.

Khaki Pants is 59 years old.

Dabo is 53 years old.

(***). Clemson is in a very competitive position. I doubt that, as of this time, we are much behind MI for this TX lineman. If we are fortunate enough to win the ACC again and also beat N.Dame, then we will be even more attractive to him.

Ok, the board Texan emerges from the deep.

You’re right, he is a Michigan legacy and all sites have him penciled in there. Beyond that, y’all are wrong on so many things.

Bowden recruited Texas. Don’t argue that, because you’re wrong. Even schools as far away as Pennsylvania and Washington heavily recruit Texas.

I believe Clemson is a possibility, because of evidence such as this picture. But, here’s where even guys that follow the national scene are wrong, we don’t know this kids heart.

He’s also been to nearby Texas many times for obvious reasons and because of proximity they may be second.

My opinion? He’s on the smaller side for todays OL. That’s not a worry, I personally gained 50 pounds my very first year out of high school but I was also just 17. I did that on my own as a walk-on at small school. He won’t have a problem gaining weight

I saw him play a couple of times with one good and one bad outcome. Obviously, it’s a team game but he more than held his own. I watched title game with another person and he didn’t see what I saw
Quick feet and Texas’ new OL coach Flood is actively recruiting him. I have never met coach Flood and they can’t talk publicly about recruits even if I did, but for some reason he didn’t chase the two Texans y’all signed from last year.
To me, that’s about tastes and difference in styles. Flood loves huge OL and Sewel and Ian didn’t seem to meet those standards. But, neither does this kid.
What I look for as a nerd and what he looks for as an actual coach are irrelevant

I’m guessing Clemson is a distant third, but again on that I am just guessing. All I know for sure is that Michigan leads big.
